Anyone tried windows binaries from www.gaztronics.net/rsync.php?
[I'm not subscribed to this list, please CC me on replies] Hi, well, the topic says it all ;) I want to know if it's safe to use them (yes, i know it's not safe, but if someone says 'they fucked my computer' i will know i can't use them. If noone says anything i will find someone to test them ;)) Thanks. -- Piotrek irc: #debian.pl Mors Drosophilis melanogastribus! -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

ongoing progress
A couple of ideas about things that would be nice to see in rsync: 1. a 0.5v option - something that would just show a progress either by file or by megabyte, ie processing file 1,048 of 9,032 or processing: 832 of 3,459 MB. The standard verbose is good for troubleshooting, but it's not very useful for gauging how much has been done and how much is left when you're just waiting impatiently for a job to complete. 2. I don't even know if this is feasible, but it would be GREAT - some way to query a running rsync process to get a single line output similar to that described above, for use e.g. in building web interfaces to automated backups, so that a CGI-driven interface could auto-refresh itself every few seconds by querying the running rsync for its status. If I had any C++ skills, I'd be trying to do the above myself.

Thanks for help :) I'd be much more cautious of a deamon or service running in a windows platform ssh'ed or not then I'd be concerned about such in a unix platform my preference is to encrypt it all and let the OS/app sort it at the endpoint. But, I'd certainly not feel safe, nor secure, running any service cgywin or not in a production or exposed setting on any windows platform.

You want to say you don't feel safe running Windows :) In my case I plan to use rsync as patching utility - one person have good file, one bad, so they run rsync to fix that. So the server need to be run only for the time needed to fix the file. Also, it not allways need to be run on Windows, but i can't exclude that possibility. But allmost allways there's a need to run rsync (client or server mode) on windows. -- Piotrek irc: #debian.pl Mors Drosophilis melanogastribus! -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
exit code definitions
Hi ! I've spent countless hours search the internet to find a list of exit codes for rsync. Can someone point me to a list of error codes and their meanings? this would be much appreciated !! thanks !! -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Bummer, I'd prefer to make my patch resository on a secarable unix system, rather then a patch it ten times a week windos system, as the intrgrety of the patches has to be maintainable.

Re: exit code definitions
I didn't search the web for this - I just looked for *.h files in the rsync source, and found error.h. I'm guessing the contents of error.h is what you're after. Check the rsync source out of CVS and view error.h. HTH. -- Hardy Merrill Red Hat, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi !
